About Us

McCannics Engineering Excellence Since 1981

McCannics has been at the forefront of innovative engineering and packaging solutions for over 40 years. Founded in 1981 by Managing Director Robbie McCann, the business began by servicing the farming and logging industries, later expanding into purpose-built machinery for forestry, agriculture, and winemaking.

In 1988, McCannics designed and built its first fibre drum packaging machine, a milestone that led to packaging machinery installations across Chile, the Philippines, Thailand, Germany, Ireland, and the USA. Today, we continue to deliver high-performance packaging solutions, including recent installations for the American food industry.

Beyond packaging, McCannics has evolved into an industry leader in New Zealand for specialised construction and engineering. With a dedicated construction division established in 2007, we provide expert services in earthquake strengthening, new builds, and turnkey project management.

What sets us apart is our exceptional team many of whom have been with McCannics for over 20 years. Our in-house specialists, including quantity surveyors, architects, structural engineers, builders, electricians, and tradespeople, ensure seamless project execution without relying on subcontractors.

From world-class packaging solutions to specialised construction and engineering, McCannics delivers expertise, reliability, and innovation.
